Second to Largent in 2020's Fort Lauderdale, Doswell improved on that result in the 2021 version, taking the lead out of the gate at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Fla., and never relinquished it, taking the Grade 2 stakes easily over Atone and English Bee.
In a full field of 12, Doswell was out fastest with English Bee and Analyze It settling a length back entering the first turn. Onto the backstretch, Doswell was a length and a quarter in front, with Analyze It, English Bee, and King Guillermo stalking. Around the far turn, Atone went three-wide to find a clear running lane as they turned into the stretch.
Doswell had the lead at each call as they straightened out into the stretch run, running easily on the front as Atone and then English Bee rallied on his outside. Neither had enough to catch Doswell, who crossed the wire a length and a half in front to earn his first graded stakes win.
The final time for the 1 1/8 miles was 1:45.60. Find this race's chart here.
Doswell paid $11.00, $5.80, and $4.00. Atone paid $17.20 and $10.20. English Bee paid $10.80.
Bred in Kentucky by owner Mr. Joseph Allen LLC, Doswell is by Giant's Causeway out of the Minardi mare Ballet Pacifica. He is trained by Barclay Tagg. The Fort Lauderdale is the 6-year-old gelding's first win in four starts in 2021, for a lifetime record of three wins in 12 starts and career earnings of $314,621.
